Burning Skies Saloon Quest: Past, Present, and Future
RearAdmiralZill:
-Whitesea Port-
*Zill wasnt convinced of Yiski's idea.*
So you think some crudely drawn symbols will be enough to just fly by? Thats a stretch at best.
Its all we really need. We wont need masks or anything. We could just be hired men.
And if it goes south?
I have a plan for that.
*Zill sighed.*
Well we will have Nova and her misfits for backup at least. Very well.
Shinkurex:
--Mess Hall--
*Shink stares at Roland*
"It's a hard thing to kill a man. At the end of the day, it's either me or him, and I'm not ready to go out just yet"
*Takes a bite of his food, and notices that Roland is still worried about killing*
"Look Roland, if I can, I wont let you go down the path I've been down. You let me do all the killing, and you just protect your Ny-Lee."
BdrLineAzn:
--Whitesea Port--
*After eating, BdrLine leaves the mess hall and explores around the base.*
*He is fascinated by the different equipment machines and weapons around the base*
*BdrLine has traveled to many different places before acquiring his own place and docks in Anvala, but when ever he is out of the city or see something new, he takes a mental note of what he is seeing and when he come back, he tries to recreate or improve on the design*
*Right now he is eyeing what looks like a sticky mine launcher.*
*One of the personnel notices Bdr's wondering eye and goes up to him*
A beauty ain't it huh.
*Still looking at it*
Yes it is *he turns to the man* If you don't mind, but as i was walking around, how come i only see this one? Why doesn't any of the ships around here carry one?
*The worker scratches his head*
Well you see... this here is only prototype. We are having problems getting the mines to stick. Plus the launching mechanism keeps jamming.
You know what, i think i can you you guys with it.
You sure? Isn't you and your lot leavin' soon.
Ahh don't worry about that, i can get it up and running in no time.
If you say soo.
*He whistles to a few people who come over, and BdrLine and the small group starts working*
Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
Yiski ran the idea by Nova as well. Though she shared the same doubts as Zill, the three recognized it would be best to avoid combat if possible. After all, the team's objective was to investigate Izumi, not fight every battle between here and Izumi. Yiski handed Nova's workers the parchment with the Birdmen symbol and they started work on it and disguising the color scheme of everyone's ships. If Yiski's plan actually worked it would tell the team two things: Birdmen can't tell which ships are theirs and, more worryingly, the Guild was aiding them.
While Yiski was coordinating with Nova as to where the symbols should be placed and the best color layout, Zill saw BdrLine helping some engineers on their ships. Zill did a mental facepalm and sighed.
Shink and Paradox had actually joined some of Nova's crew and started partying.
Roland and Ny-Lee sat together in a room. Ny-Lee was resting her head on Roland's shoulder and they were holding hands. Ny-Lee was gently rubbing Roland's hand.
Ny-Lee, have you ever killed anyone before?
Ny-Lee was quick to answer.
Yes.
Did you regret killing them?
No.
I see.
Roland was silent and Ny-Lee really didn't know what to say. All she could was keep Roland close to her.
By the time the storm let up, the day gave way to night. Nova, Yiski, Zill all inspected the new colors and Birdment logo.
Well... what do you boys think?
Hell, it should work.
And if it doesn't, it's not like we had anythin' to lose.
Hope you're back up plan works.
Yiski smirked and patted Zill's back and started walking toward the barracks for sleep.
By the clear skies, I hope so too.
--NARRATOR END--
--END OF DAY 3--
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 4--
--NARRATOR--
Nova, Yiski, and Zill woke up early to finalize the plan and make sure the symbols embroidered on the ships would pass an inspection.
I have to say Nova, your workers do a decent job.
I'll second that.
Well, we're all set. Let's get everybody.
Nova walked over to a PA microphone with a lone engine next to it. Nova turned on the mic then turned on the engine. The sound of the roaring engine echoed throughout Whitesea Operations. Nova let the PA run for a good five minutes before cutting of the PA and the engine. Nova walked back to Zill with a smile.
I think everybody's awake now.
Damn that's effective.
Shortly after the end of the base's wake up call, Jun'ko, Ny-Lee, and Roland arrived. All of them seemed surprised and annoyed.
What was that Admiral? I feel like my ears were about to fall off!
Yes, I would've preferred a more gentle wake up call.
...
Roland was silent not because of the past events, but because he couldn't hear anything. Poor Roland was up already, but when the call went out, he was sitting right under on the loudspeakers. Nova was chuckled when Roland's gestures pointed to his ears.
Can't hear huh? No worries you should be able to hear in an hour or so.
Zill was looking around.
The hell are BdrLine, Paradox, and Shink?
Suddenly, BdrLine appeared from one of the ships.
I'm here. I just fell asleep on this ship last night.
What did you do brother?
Helping out the workers in getting this engine to function properly.
Everyone gave out a collective sigh. BdrLine and his obsession with engines.
Well, there's BdrLine. We still got two no-shows.
Eventually, Paradox and Shink slowly make their way into the port. Both were holding each other up and looked like complete messes.
The hell were you two doing last night?
Paradox and Shink both explain they had partied with Nova's crew and participated in a number of drinking games against Nova's people. The two had won every single time, most in part because the alcohol they drank was significantly weaker compared to Yiski's brews. They were in their current state because the didn't know when to stop drinking.
While Paradox and Shink slowly got on board Then It Was Fixed Yiski and Zill both facepalmed while Nova was laughing.
